Montblancʼs Limited Edition Writing Instruments are designed and created in honour of the great individuals who – through their unique talent and vision – have made an enduring impact on mankind. True to this tradition, Montblancʼs Great Characters Limited Edition brings to life the extraordinary genius of Albert Einstein (1879-1955). With an unparalleled ability to understand the most complex mysteries of the physical universe and an insatiable desire to break new boundaries, no man of science has achieved such widespread recognition for his contribution to the advancement of human knowledge. Now this writing masterpiece, available in an Albert Einstein Limited Edition of just 99 pieces and an Albert Einstein Limited Edition of 3000 pieces, celebrates Einsteinʼs remarkable legacy.
“Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.” – Albert Einstein
The German-born Swiss-American theoretical physicist, philosopher and author is widely recognized as the greatest scientist of all time. The now famous equation “e=mc2” gave the scientific community a way of unlocking the previously unknown mysteries of the Universe. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 for his overall achievements in Theoretical Physics and his discovery of the law of the Photoelectric Effect. In addition to profoundly altering our understanding of space, time and energy with his scientific discoveries, Einstein became a passionate advocate of peace, world order and cooperation. The infinite knowledge and moral stewardship Einstein left behind are brought to life in Montblancʼs latest Great Characters Edition.
Montblanc Albert Einstein Limited Edition (99 Pieces)
A reference to the chemical element ʻEinsteiniumʼ with the ordinal number 99, the Limited Edition is a masterpiece in design. Every detail brings to life the ground-breaking work that earned him such respect and admiration internationally. Crafted from 750 solid white gold, the body of this precious piece is covered with a skeleton net with a filigree overlay representing the space-time curve, Einstein’s disruptive discovery that demonstrated how in his universe, space and time are no longer flat but can pushed and pulled, stretched and warped by matter. The filigree engravings on the barrel and cone of the pen reflect his most famous formulas, and the nib is enriched with the engraving of the chemical element ʻEinsteiniumʼ or ʻEsʼ, a rare radioactive metal named after Einstein to honour his achievements. The penʼs clip is bejewelled with a sapphire bowl of approximately 1,3 ct, while the iconic star-shaped Montblanc emblem carved out of moonstone, crowns this masterpiece with its luminous display of colours.
